Reading – Revelation 16

Highlight Verse:

““Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭16‬:‭15‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

Let’s be clear right up front, the clothing spoken of in today’s highlight verse is the righteousness of Jesus.

He dressed us up in His righteousness the moment we accepted His forgiveness.

As long as we keep wearing that righteousness, we need have no shame as the sacrifice of Jesus covers anything that would try to cause us shame.

Jesus’ words here make it plain. He will not give us any warning other than letting us know He could return at any time.

There are those who would try to figure out the exact time of His return.

But Jesus made it abundantly clear that Hie return will be when no one is expecting it.

It might be next week. It could be a thousand years from now. Or it could be before we take another breath.

Some would put off repentance for as long as possible, thinking they still have time for more fun.

What they don’t realize is that a life lived by Jesus’ direction is far more enjoyable than a life of sin.

And when the time comes, the choice will be eternal.

If you haven’t allowed Jesus to clothe you with righteousness, what’s stopping you?
If you are alive in Jesus, can you describe how much better life is when following Him?
